10-Kaiba admitting he's an idiot.
9-Mokuba talking about something and actually having it relate to something other than his brother.(Being a judge in Battle City is in fact indirect to it.)
8-Yugi actually losing.
7-A duel that takes less than one episode to show.(With exception of the first season and filler duels such as Kaiba's with the computer)
6-An opponent taking no less than 2 minutes to explain their plan, let alone what a card does.
5-Staple cards of today's real meta-game with the correct effects. i.e. Jinzo. If he could blow up traps on the field, I think he'd be loved and hated just a BIT more.
4-Tea actually saying something useful other than "You can do it!"
3-Guns. This is good ol' America, now now we can't the kiddies what a gun is! Despite the fact kids everyday shoot their siblings and friends. ::Cough cough::
2-A 5 year old in a tournament! Stupid little spoiled brats...
1-And finally..dum dee dum dum duuuum! The 1st top thing you'll never EVER see in the YuGiOh Anime...A GOOD STRATEGY! What in the heck is a deck with Dark Magician, Magnet Warriors, a Red Eyes and a Dark Magician girl even doing in a main character's plan?! Don't even get me started on Kaiba or Joey.."I play the Almight Blue Eyes White Dragon, now attack-huh?! Magic Cylinder!?" And Joey, what exactly does his deck do..? The only strong monster I've seen him pull out of there anymore is his Jinzo, which gets slaughtered within a turn. Then the themed decks..Insect Queen? Great Moth? Can you say situational? Oh, and to top it all off, they butcher card effects! Even the commons!(Ahem, just to clarify, I claimed they butcher staples earlier.) Since when was Paracite Paraside a Magic Card, and not affect Gearfried? I think the show should begin to lean toward the Manga..at least there it isn't ALL dueling.

Love me? Hate me? Gonna flame me? Knock yourself out, I'm open for anything and I do take insults quite well since I'm very opinionated. Especially on this subject..I just happen to be against the anime's take on the game..
